TBH - I wouldn't use anything other than Toyota parts there or camber bolts. The stock Mr T bits have a special shank on them and the thread is a fine pitch.

It’s camber bolts that are on it and I want to replace them as I’m fitting Coilovers with adjustable top mounts.

Bump.

Need to remove the camber bolts and fit standard bolts.

My friend might be able to get me them but I need the size confirmed if anyone can help?

I think they’re M12’s?

Exactly this. Generic bolt from a hardware store is not good enough. The bolts, washers, and nuts, are all available from Toyota, either order from your local dealer (many offer delivery on small parts) or order via TCB.
